*Achievements are the building blocks that enable someone to construct a sense of themselves as a success. The achievements that matter most combine to form a version of success that has meaning and substance for the individual. Achievements also provide tangible evidence that colleagues, competitors and the wider world use to judge a person as more or less successful.

*In video gaming parlance, an achievement, also sometimes known as a trophy, badge, advancement, award, stamp, medal, or in game achievement, is a meta-goal defined outside a game's parameters. Meeting the fulfillment conditions, and receiving recognition of fulfillment by the game, is referred to as unlocking the achievement.
